12.8.98 - GnomeNEWS

Because of the way I write each week's "news" section a week ahead of time, I'm going to be throwing in the week's "Top 7" on random days. My original idea was to give you something to look forward to on Friday, but I figured you'd enjoy it just the same on any other day. You can always pretend that "whatever day" is Friday. That's up to you. Don't shoot the messenger, unless he smells real bad.

7 Ways to Spot a Lockergnome Subscriber

7. Disk Defrag is necessary on a daily basis. (Russell W. Coover)

6. They get automatically paged when the Daily HTML issue is received by their ISP. (Darryl Plunkie)

5. Your e-mail client has 2 subfolders: 'Lockergnome,' which has 10,000 saved messages, and 'Family,' which is completely empty. (CChristian)

4. When answering a technical question, they start their answer with, "Well Chris said..." (Gary Cunningham)

3. They refer to useful new programs as "gnomey". (Renee Ludwig)

2. They start using the phrase "Gnome(anything)" very liberally. (Brandon D. Smith)

1. You can't spot a Lockergnome subscriber... they're all at home in front of their computers trying out all the great new programs they just found out about. (Sean Grobe)

If you have ideas about any "top seven" lists you'd like to see, let me know: seven@lockergnome.com. Or, use that e-mail address to submit ideas for the next week's list: "7 things Lockergnome Subscribers really want for Christmas." (Ansel Taft)

Directory Snoop v2.1 [336k] W9x FREE

Mind your own business. But even if you don't have your own business, you should still use your mind. Just don't use your mind on other people's stuff. Snooping around isn't a great hobby to get into. Especially if your friends have things to hide from you. "So that's where my cheese grater went!" Now, it's perfectly safe to snoop through your own stuff--your hard drive, in particular. Sure, the Explorer works okay for file management, but what if you want to know the details about low level disk structure and activity? This particular version works on uncompressed FAT12, FAT16, and FAT32 volumes. Advanced users can map files & directories, undelete files, and basically gather more information about the contents on their drives!

Lefty Mouse Cursors v1.0 [6k] W9x/NT4 FREE

If you're left handed and you know it, raise your right hand. I'm pretty sure I was born left handed. I didn't realize this until years after never hitting a pitch in little league. In high school, I decided to bat left handed for the first time in my life and wound up hitting a triple. I'll never forget it. Why didn't anyone bother to tell me that I could have tried doing things left handed? Perhaps I'm ambidextrous (which means I like walking with people named Dexter)? Well, I can imagine that it's difficult for southpaws to live in a right-handed world--especially when it comes to computers. Be glad that you can snag these "lefty cursors" if you think the default pointer is pointing the WRONG way.

GnomeFAVORITE

Fork in the Head

"That has got to be the stupidest website I have ever seen, and you gave it WHAT award?" If your Aunt Bethany says that to you all the time, then it's time to switch medications. However, if your visitors aren't telling you why they're not coming back to your site on a regular basis, perhaps it sucks? "When you install the get forked button on your site, you give disgruntled users a quick and easy way to tell you what's wrong." Don't go away, just go away angry.

GnomeDESKTOP

THEME: King of the Hill [3.3M]

Cartoons are still very much a part of my daily routine. Of course, you know that I have the television on in the background most of the time. When I first watched King of the Hill, I wasn't too thrilled. But, as time wore on, I started to like it more and more. Then again, I was (past tense) a Beavis & Butt-head fan at one time. Judge for yourself.

GnomeTIP

A few weeks ago, I featured a tip that would allow you to shut down Windows by clicking on a shortcut. Some of you asked if there were any other "shut down" shortcuts available. Here's one that'll allow you to Restart Windows! Simply create a shortcut (right-click on your Desktop, select New, then Shortcut), then enter the following information (without the quotes): "C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL.EXE user.exe,exitwindowsexec" Make sure you copy that ENTIRE string or else it won't work, people (everything between the quotes). Trust me, it works.
